Is fried cabbage still healthy?

No! Fried cabbage isn’t very healthy. It isn't healthy at all because it’s fried, and whenever you fry vegetables, you remove a lot of their nutrients. But hey, there’s nothing wrong with eating for pleasure sometimes, right?

Do you have to use bacon or meat?

I like to use bacon because it gives the cabbage a great flavor. If you don't have any bacon on hand or don't eat pork, feel free to omit it. I love the flavor pork bacon gives the cabbage, but you DON'T NEED IT—the cabbage will still be good without it.

How long does cabbage last?

I'd say about three days! The longer it sits in the frig, the colder it gets, and when you reheat it, it shrinks even more and becomes limp and soggy. So it's best to eat it within the first two days.
